BBC to podcast hourly news, Woman's Hour and Paxman in trial extension

News line-up complemented by flagship BBC Radio 4 programmes

The next stage of the BBC's downloading and podcasting trial will include experiments with hourly news bulletins, Woman's Hour podcasts and audio highlights from BBC TWO's Newsnight. Twenty-nine more radio programmes and highlights packages will join the trial - which allows listeners to download shows and subscribe to regular podcasts – later this month.

They include an hourly news summary from the BBC World Service and Jeremy Paxman's first podcasting venture in a weekly, audio-only download featuring the pick of the interviews from Newsnight.
